Copper Age - Earliest period of the Bronze Age, depending on the region, before copper was fused with tin to form bronze for tools and weapons. Early Minoan - Minoan (Cretan) civilization from 4000 BC to 2100 BC Indo-European - Many societies in Europe, South Asia and southwest Asia, identified by 1000 BC on the basis of linguistic similarities. Iron Age - The Era of iron instruments, dating back to about 1200 BC, in Greece around 1100 BC, in Sicily, probably with the Greeks around 700 BC. Late Bronze Age - In Sicily, the epoch dates from about 1270 BC to around 650 BC, just before the Iron Age imposed by the Greeks.

Pleistocene Epoch - Geological era, which ended ten thousand years ago (8000 BC), before the Holocene (current epoch). Proto-Sicanian - Various hypothetical, indigenous Sicilian cultures, somewhat influenced by Eastern Mediterranean societies, are believed to immediately precede identifiable Sikana culture from about 3000 BC to around 2000 BC. Sicania - Sikania Odyssey Homer, referring to Sicily and in particular the Sikana Mountain. Sikanian - the native villages of Sicily, from the sika to chalcedony (Italian selce), found in the valleys in which they lived. Origin, revealed in 2000-1600 BC after proto-Sikan culture. The Siseliots are the Greek colonists of Sicily and their descendants. Sicels - Also Sikels from the Greek Si'Keloi, Italian people arriving in eastern Sicily around 1200 BC. Sikelia - The classic Greek name of Sicily, based on the name Si'Keloi (Sicels). Their origins are elusive. Of the three oldest nations (Sikans, sis, elim), indigenous Sikans (or Sycan) of central and western Sicily were present at the earliest, as the data indicate the more recent introduction of the civilization of Sikel (Siculian in eastern Sicily and Elim in the northwest. of all three societies, it may indeed have been indigenous; perhaps it was the culture of Sicels, not the people themselves who came from other regions. (It is theoretically possible that a relatively small number of people from a more advanced society could come to ancient Sicily, perhaps for trade, bringing knowledge about their deities, cuisine and writing systems to early Sikanans or cils.) Archaeologically and socially, the differences between sikans and Sikli were subtle in more recent times (i.e. 600 BC), although their languages - eventually using Phoenician symbols - were distinctive from each other. The most relevant archaeological finds, and certainly devoid of external cultural influences, date back to the period before the Phoenician and Greek invasions of Sicily (around 800 BC). Much of our knowledge of the earliest Sicilians comes to us from Greek literary sources or, in some cases, quasi-historical. Given the poetic decorations, few of these foreign authors seem to be particularly reliable, and some (particularly Diodoros Siculus) are known to be fanciful. It is enough to look at the rather negative Greek and Roman characteristics of neighbouring Phoenicians and Carthaginians to appreciate the fact that historical prejudices and revisionism are nothing new. Precious little knowledge of the Sikanyas is based on elements important for the identification of any civilization - their native language, literature, religion, recorded history or centuries-old traditions. In most of these relationships, our study of Sichan (and proto-Sikan) recorded history is extremely limited compared to the ancient Assyrians, Chinese, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans. When there is little evidence, archaeology becomes an inaccurate science, relying heavily on theories and (often) assumptions. In addition to vague commonalities, expert archaeologists rarely agree with the more subtle consequences of their discoveries. Their conclusions are often based on art (or what is left of it), traces of architecture (usually the foundations and necropolises), comparative studies (influence of known foreign cultures) or historical rumors (descriptions of foreigners), fortunately supplemented by scientifically reliable analysis (e.g., dating processes). In the case of long-extinct crops such as sikanya, archaeology is our best route to greater knowledge, although it is now complemented by interdisciplinary studies related to climatology and other topics. Some genetic studies, for example, may provide general information about migratory patterns of ancient peoples, although even the identification of typically Sikan gene markers has proved difficult at the moment. The very term indigenous is quite subjective, because modern people actually to the Mediterranean region, the region tens of thousands of years ago. (No one has always been here; in terms of remote human origin, we are all African.) The Sichans are said to be natives of Sicily because theirs is the earliest society that can be defined as inhabiting our island. People were present in Sicily at the end of the Pleistocene era, about 10,000 years ago. Cave drawings confirm the presence by 6000 BC, if not before, and there is no evidence to offer anything other than a continuous presence from this period. In general terms, early Sicily can be represented by the following periods: 8000 BC - early settlements and cave paintings in coastal areas such as Addaura (near Palermo). 3000 BC - the use of copper instruments in certain settlements, probably reflecting non-Sian influences. 2500 BC - the use of bronze throughout proto-Sikana Sicily; contact with foreign cultures. 1600 BC - the presence of identifiable, separate Sikana culture throughout Sicily. 1200 BC - The arrival of Seachels in the eastern coastal areas, encouraging the migration of the Sikan to the west. There is little evidence that sicanians ever made widespread use of any written language prior to the introduction of the Phoenician alphabet (shown here with Greek and Rnerim alphabets) which they wrote from right to left. (The Mycenaean script was found on some pieces of ceramics.) At the prei historical level, it seems likely that they were a descendant, for the most part, of the inhabitants of Bronze Age Sicily. Indeed, the Sikans probably represented the main group, originating from these first indigenous Sicilians. The Iberian-born Sikanan theory is supported by quite a few linguistic factors that are thought to have been common in the early Iberian languages, although the evidence is hardly conclusive. The name of the ancient Sicano River in Spain has been quoted to suggest a common connection, but it may just be accidental. It was the Greek historian Thucydides who first proposed Iberian roots, but his authority for this is not known. However, the best (and most recent) scientific position is that the Sikans were indeed natives of Sicily, while the Sicels immigrated from mainland Italy (perhaps from Liguria, Latium or even the Alpine regions) and the elimians from the Asian regions of the eastern Mediterranean, possibly through North Africa. Although largely hypothetical, the logical theory has been put forward that the Sikanya were not originally part of any Indo-European population, although recent discoveries imply at least isolated contact with some Mycenaean and Minoan cultures - probably based on trade. Living independently of other societies, the earliest Sikani would naturally become a unique without clearly defined cultural links with the Indo-European culture of Italy, Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean. (So they were like the earliest Iberians.) The name sicanyan probably comes from a chalcedony called called found in some areas where they lived, and of which they styled tools in the Neolithic era. The presence of the Iron Age is indicated in Gela, Sant Angelo Miksaro and other locations in the Agrigento area. Minoan and Mycenaean connections explain the possible similarity of the Tapso and Castelluccio cultures with the Aegean. The fact that the Sikans appear to have assimilated faster and more easily than the Sicals with the colonization of the Greeks suggests at least some affinity, if not general, between Sikan and Hellenistic culture. This peaceful association took only a few centuries, from about 700 BC to 400 BC, and soon many Sikan cities were essentially Greek. Our knowledge of this gradual union of Sikan and Hellenistic culture is primarily archaeological. Even today, the actual sites of ancient Sicilian settlements (including Sikkan settlements) mentioned in Greek and Roman accounts are occasionally discovered and identified. The future find may provide more information about the Sikanans. Despite literary references to the contrary, there is little evidence that a strong central government (or monarchy) is among the Sikanans. Like the cities of Phoenicia and Greece, the Sikan settlements were probably independent, or at least quasi-autonomous, forming a very free confederation. There appears to have been little open conflict with the Cichels in the east and the Elims in the north-west, although the arrival of each of them appears to have prompted the Sikhs to migrate to other areas. Prior to the arrival of Siceli, the Sikanyane (or the prehistoric culture of the predecessor from which they originated) probably occupied much of Sicily, although they were hardly isolated.

    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The eighth-century revolution Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: Through most of the 20th century classicists saw the 8th century BC as a period of major changes, which they characterized as “revolutionary,” but in the 1990s critics proposed more gradualist interpretations. In this paper I argue that while 30 years of fieldwork and new analyses inevitably require us to modify the framework established by Snodgrass in the 1970s (a profound social and economic depression in the Aegean c. 1100-800 BC; major population growth in the 8th century; social and cultural transformations that established the parameters of classical society), it nevertheless remains the most convincing interpretation of the evidence, and that the idea of an 8th-century revolution remains useful © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 THE EIGHTH-CENTURY REVOLUTION Ian Morris Introduction In the eighth century BC the communities of central Aegean Greece (see figure 1) and their colonies overseas laid the foundations of the economic, social, and cultural framework that constrained and enabled Greek achievements for the next five hundred years. Rapid population growth promoted warfare, trade, and political centralization all around the Mediterranean. In most regions, the outcome was a concentration of power in the hands of kings, but Aegean Greeks created a new form of identity, the equal male citizen, living freely within a small polis. This vision of the good society was intensely contested throughout the late eighth century, but by the end of the archaic period it had defeated all rival models in the central Aegean, and was spreading through other Greek communities.

  • Introduction Roger D
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56256-0 — The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages Edited by Roger D. Woodard Excerpt More Information chapter 1 Introduction roger d. woodard 1.1 Preliminary remarks What makes a language ancient? The term conjures up images, often romantic, of archeol- ogists feverishly copying hieroglyphs by torchlight in a freshly discovered burial chamber; of philologists dangling over a precipice in some remote corner of the earth, taking impres- sions of an inscription carved in a cliff-face; of a solitary scholar working far into the night, puzzling out some ancient secret, long forgotten by humankind, from a brittle-leafed manuscript or patina-encrusted tablet. The allure is undeniable, and the literary and film worlds have made full use of it. An ancient language is indeed a thing of wonder – but so is every other language, all remarkable systems of conveying thoughts and ideas across time and space. And ancient languages, as far back as the very earliest attested, operate just like those to which the linguist has more immediate access, all with the same familiar elements – phonological, morphological, syntactic – and no perceptible vestiges of Neanderthal oddities. If there was a time when human language was characterized by features and strategies fundamentally unlike those we presently know, it was a time prior to the development of any attested or reconstructed language of antiquity. Perhaps, then, what makes an ancient language different is our awareness that it has outlived those for whom it was an intimate element of the psyche, not so unlike those rays of light now reaching our eyes that were emitted by their long-extinguished source when dinosaurs still roamed across the earth (or earlier) – both phantasms of energy flying to our senses from distant sources, long gone out.

  • First Capitals of Armenia and Georgia: Armawir and Armazi (Problems of Early Ethnic Associations)
    First Capitals of Armenia and Georgia: Armawir and Armazi (Problems of Early Ethnic Associations) Armen Petrosyan Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Yerevan The foundation legends of the first capitals of Armenia and Georgia – Armawir and Armazi – have several common features. A specific cult of the moon god is attested in both cities in the triadic temples along with the supreme thunder god and the sun god. The names of Armawir and Armazi may be associated with the Anatolian Arma- ‘moon (god).’ The Armenian ethnonym (exonym) Armen may also be derived from the same stem. The sacred character of cultic localities is extremely enduring. The cults were changed, but the localities kept their sacred character for millennia. At the transition to a new religious system the new cults were often simply imposed on the old ones (e.g., the old temple was renamed after a new deity, or the new temple was built on the site or near the ruins of the old one). The new deities inherited the characteristics of the old ones, or, one may say, the old cults were simply renamed, which could have been accompanied by some changes of the cult practices. Evidently, in the new system more or less comparable images were chosen to replace the old ones: similarity of functions, rituals, names, concurrence of days of cult, etc (Petrosyan 2006: 4 f.; Petrosyan 2007a: 175).1 On the other hand, in the course of religious changes, old gods often descend to the lower level of epic heroes. Thus, the heroes of the Armenian ethnogonic legends and the epic “Daredevils of Sasun” are derived from ancient local gods: e.g., Sanasar, who obtains the 1For numerous examples of preservation of pre-Urartian and Urartian holy places in medieval Armenia, see, e.g., Hmayakyan and Sanamyan 2001).

  • The Ancient People of Italy Before the Rise of Rome, Italy Was a Patchwork
    The Ancient People of Italy Before the rise of Rome, Italy was a patchwork of different cultures. Eventually they were all subsumed into Roman culture, but the cultural uniformity of Roman Italy erased what had once been a vast array of different peoples, cultures, languages, and civilizations. All these cultures existed before the Roman conquest of the Italian Peninsula, and unfortunately we know little about any of them before they caught the attention of Greek and Roman historians. Aside from a few inscriptions, most of what we know about the native people of Italy comes from Greek and Roman sources. Still, this information, combined with archaeological and linguistic information, gives us some idea about the peoples that once populated the Italian Peninsula. Italy was not isolated from the outside world, and neighboring people had much impact on its population. There were several foreign invasions of Italy during the period leading up to the Roman conquest that had important effects on the people of Italy. First there was the invasion of Alexander I of Epirus in 334 BC, which was followed by that of Pyrrhus of Epirus in 280 BC. Hannibal of Carthage invaded Italy during the Second Punic War (218–203 BC) with the express purpose of convincing Rome’s allies to abandon her. After the war, Rome rearranged its relations with many of the native people of Italy, much influenced by which peoples had remained loyal and which had supported their Carthaginian enemies. The sides different peoples took in these wars had major impacts on their destinies. In 91 BC, many of the peoples of Italy rebelled against Rome in the Social War.

Archaeological excavations in the case study site of Contrada Castro (Corleone) have investigated a settlement which was mainly occupied during the Early Middle Ages (late 8th–11th century AD). This paper aims to understand the historical suitability and sustainability of this area analysing the correlation between the current dynamics of plant communities and the historical use of woods detected by the archaeobotanical record. An integrated approach between phytosociology and archaeobotany has been applied. The vegetation series of the study area has been used as a model to understand the ecological meaning and spatial distribution of archaeobotanical data on charcoals from the Medieval layers of the Contrada Castro site.

  • Language in Ancient Europe: an Introduction Roger D
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-68495-8 - The Ancient Languages of Europe Edited by Roger D. Woodard Excerpt More information chapter 1 Language in ancient Europe: an introduction roger d. woodard The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong, indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists: there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothik and the Celtick, though blended with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanscrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family. Asiatick Researches 1:442–443 In recent years, these words of an English jurist, Sir William Jones, have been frequently quoted (at times in truncated form) in works dealing with Indo-European linguistic origins. And appropriately so. They are words of historic proportion, spoken in Calcutta, 2 February 1786, at a meeting of the Asiatick Society, an organization that Jones had founded soon after his arrival in India in 1783 (on Jones, see, inter alia, Edgerton 1967). If Jones was not the first scholar to recognize the genetic relatedness of languages (see, inter alia, the discussion in Mallory 1989:9–11) and if history has treated Jones with greater kindness than other pioneers of comparative linguistic investigation, the foundational remarks were his that produced sufficient awareness, garnered sufficient attention – sustained or recollected – to mark an identifiable beginning of the study of comparative linguistics and the study of that great language family of which Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Gothic, Celtic, and Old Persian are members – and are but a few of its members.
